The First Wedding Anniversary: Gifts

Carnations

These flowers are associated with the first anniversary, and convey passion and love.

Paper

Paper as a gift dates back to the 1800’s. Write a love note, or make paper jewelry. You could even set up a romantic scavenger hunt, taking your love through all your favorite places as a couple.

Clock

The modern rendition of paper is a clock. This symbolizes endless love. A watch is another take on this gift idea.

Scrapbook/video

Compile the best moments from the first year into a nice scrapbook. Alternatively, go digital with a service that’ll form these pictures and videos into a fun home movie or book.

Wine & Spirits

A nice bottle of wine or bourbon will set the tone for a romantic night in.

Can’t decide what to get or want to break tradition? Consider something like a subscription box, which is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Each month, something will arrive in the mail for your loved one.
